Motivated by some alternatives to the classical logical model of boolean algebra, this paper deals with algebraic structures which extend skew lattices by locally invertible elements. Following the meme of the Ehresmann-Schein-Nambooripad…

Let $G$ and $H$ be infinite finitely generated amenable groups. This paper studies two notions of equivalence between actions of such groups on standard Borel probability spaces. They are defined as stable orbit equivalences in which the…

We propose a new approach to superrigidity phenomena and implement it for lattice representations and measurable cocycles with homeomorphisms of the circle as the target group. We are motivated by Ghys' theorem stating that any…

We prove a super-rigidity result for algebraic representations over complete fields of irreducible lattices in product of groups and lattices with dense commensurator groups. We derive some criteria for non-linearity of such groups.

Let $M$ be a closed 3-manifold admitting a finite cover of index n along the fibers over the unit tangent bundle of a closed surface. We prove that if n is odd, there is only one Anosov flow on M up to orbital equivalence, and if n is even,…

We show local and cocycle rigidity for $\R^k \times \Z^l$ partially hyperbolic translation actions on homogeneous spaces $\mc G/ \Lambda$. We consider a large class of actions whose geometric properties are more complicated than previously…

We consider isometric actions of lattices in semisimple algebraic groups on (possibly non-compact) homogeneous spaces with (possibly infinite) invariant Radon measure. We assume that the action has a dense orbit, and demonstrate two novel…

We consider partially hyperbolic abelian algebraic high-rank actions on compact homogeneous spaces obtained from simple indefinite orthogonal and unitary groups. In the first part of the paper, we show local differentiable rigidity for such…

We prove that all (generalized) Higman groups on at least $5$ generators are superrigid for measure equivalence. More precisely, let $k\ge 5$, and let $H$ be a group with generators $a_1,\dots,a_k$, and Baumslag-Solitar relations given by…

We construct rigidly supersymmetric bulk-plus-boundary actions, both in $x$-space and in superspace. For each standard supersymmetric bulk action a minimal supersymmetric bulk-plus-boundary action follows from an extended $F$- or $D$-term…

We study orbits of semigroups of $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$, and demonstrate reciprocity obstructions: we show that certain such orbits avoid squares, but not as a consequence of obstructions inherited from an algebraic set, and not as a…

We show that if G is a discrete group which does not have the Haagerup property but does have an unbounded cocycle into a C_0 representation and if G acts on a finite von Neumann algebra B such that the inclusion B \subset (B \rtimes G) has…

Let $F_{BC}(\lambda,k;t)$ be the Heckman-Opdam hypergeometric function of type BC with multiplicities $k=(k_1,k_2,k_3)$ and weighted half sum $\rho(k)$ of positive roots. We prove that $F_{BC}(\lambda+\rho(k),k;t)$ converges for…

In this paper we show that there are "E_0 many" orbit inequivalent free actions of the free groups F_n, $2\leq n\leq\infty$, by measure preserving transformations on a standard Borel probability space. In particular, there are uncountably…

Any continuous action of SL(n,Z), where n > 2, on a r-dimensional mod 2 homology sphere factors through a finite group action if r < n - 1. In particular, any continuous action of SL(n+2,Z) on the n-dimensional sphere factors through a…

We obtain the leading order corrections to the effective action of an M5-brane wrapping a Riemann surface in the eleven-dimensional supergravity Omega-background. The result can be identified with the first order epsilon-deformation of the…

For each $2 \leq n \leq \infty$, we construct an uncountable family of free ergodic measure preserving actions $\alpha_t$ of the free group $\Bbb F_n$ on the standard probability space $(X, \mu)$ such that any two are non orbit equivalent…

We generalize the notion of orbit equivalence to the non-commutative setting by introducing a new equivalence relation on groups, which we call von Neumann orbit equivalence (vNOE). We prove the stability of this equivalence relation under…

We prove that for any countably many one-parameter diagonalizable subgroups $F_n$ of $\rm{SL}_3(\mathbb{R})$, the set of $\Lambda\in\rm{SL}_3(\mathbb{R})/\rm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$ such that all the orbits $F_n\Lambda$ are bounded has full…

We show that the maximal orbit dimension of a simultaneous Lie group action on n copies of a manifold does not pseudo-stabilize when n increases. We also show that if a Lie group action is (locally) effective on subsets of a manifold, then…
